Cookbooks & your library

Cookbooks are how you organize your kitchen. A recipe can live in as many cookbooks as you like, and some cookbooks are always there for you.

The special cookbooks

Every kitchen comes with two protected cookbooks you can't delete — they're always available:

• Favorites — the recipes you love and want at your fingertips. Mark a recipe as a favorite and it lands here.
• To Be Cooked — your "want to make this soon" shortlist. Add a recipe when you're planning to cook it.

These give you a consistent home for the two things you do most: keeping the keepers, and queuing up what's next.

Custom cookbooks

Beyond those, you can create your own custom cookbooks — "Weeknight dinners", "Holiday baking", "Mom's recipes", whatever fits how you think about food. Add recipes to them, and open a cookbook to see everything inside it.

Your library

Together, Favorites, To Be Cooked, and your custom cookbooks make up your personal library — your slice of the kitchen, organized your way. From the browser you can jump to any cookbook and back to the full kitchen at any time.
